If you have the hands-on experience with Joomla, then I would recommend that you go with what you know (even though both Drupal and dotCMS are very nice in their own right).
Before working at the junior college I am at now, I had never worked in ...
At this point in time we are moving toward an ActiveCampus "Portal" implementation (to replace our existing WebAdvisor system online for students). Based on the specs I've been given by Datatel, this implementation will involve the "Portal" server...
We are a Datatel site and have SharePoint for our internet-facing web site. We too are scheduled for an ACP demo.
Thanks so much for the clarification on this George.

Yes.
If you hear ActiveAdmissions associated with Datatel, you can think of it is a module coupled with a full CMS (which they also refer to as ActiveCampus). So, it can serve as the external website, including Admissions. The key is that the Adm...
I highly recommend the OmniUpdate CMS. (http://www.omniupdate.com)
It's not a free download like Joomla, but the system is outstanding, the customer support is wonderful, and the user adoption rate is very high because it is very easy to use and ...
So if people here are talking about ActiveAdmissions, they really mean a new full CMS implementation for the external website including Admissions? Or just the Admissions area?
And if they are saying ActiveCampus "Portal" that is an internal Shar...
Dan,
My understanding is that Datatel has two products called ActiveCampus -- yes, confusing.
One is an enterprise CMS called ActiveAdmissions/ActiveCampus. And AA/AC is based on MS .NET/SQL technology. The other ActiveCampus as your Dan's subje...
Any word on findings? I was just hired and we are looking to implement that solution(I had nothing to do with it, just arrived on campus last week). any experiences/things to look out for?
What is the difference of this comment appearing on the FB fan page vs. the comment being made in public by the same person while standing in front of this piece in the museum itself? Others are going to hear/read it in either case, and after all,...
Viddler is also nice. (similar to Vimeo).
We are in the process of finishing up our iTunes U implementation (you could look into that).
If you are using Blackboard as your online Learning Management System, then Vanderbilt University has built a...
We did an entirely different look and feel for our Athletics site, yet we kept it within our "domain".
We have been talking about providing an "Athletics-geared" CMS site for quite some time now, but it's all been just talk.
In that time, we've ...
Steve, thank you for your reply. I will do just that.

I agree with Nathan - you do not want flash in your HTML email. You can have the HTML email look like the start of a movie.. or whatever graphics you want in there.. but when clicked - the user should be taken to a web site where a full web browse...

How are you looking to point users to the Flash file? I don't know the most recent stats on Flash visibility through email clients but I remember in the past the argument was against sending a pure Flash file through email. Instead the suggestion ...
We recently tested Joomla vs. Drupal and arrived at some of the same conclusions as previous posters. In the end, with as large as we need the site to be, we settled on Drupal. It has yet to be seen if we've made the right decision. I'll get back ...
It's not for our school, but it is a pretty decent description of a social media intern position:

We're planning on sending out a Flash-based Christrmas greeting via email. I'm wondering what maximum file size we should be aiming for. (i.e.
We're working on this with a school right now. I'll share what we end up at!

Here was mine (with a hearty assist from Jessica Krywosa of Suffolk University):
This position will allow a student the opportunity to help shape and promote online and social media community experiences for the college. The social media intern s...
I do all 'main university' type postings in FB and Twitter and act as the 'voice' of the accounts adding personal touches here and there, such as personal questions or greetings.
Our strategy includes adding admins from various parts of the unive...
I dont know if its served me well - its only been a few months - but I have only a short descriptive 'graph that I used.

As I review admissions pages and applications, I've discovered there are few admissions pages that have an easy to find call to action to apply. The norm seems to be scanning a lot of text to find the "to apply" choice.
John,
Not sure if you've seen this already, but check out Common Admissions Application. Looks like a number of higher ed schools across the country use it.
Justin, just got through with an OmniUpdate CMS demo. The application is unbelievable. It is awesome. If we had the money we would right the check right there. What is cool about the company is they are trying to work with us. I think that this sp...
Sam, beside Joomla I have used DotNetNuke also and I have experienced the same type of issues with DNN. Installation. I have had huge issues and a lot of wasted time trying to install DNN and trying to get it up and running. Once I have it install...
I need a new calender of events type software. Right now we were using the open source vtcalender system until it broke. This system has been nothing but problems. The previous web designers were the ones that put this calender system into use. Wh...
I sent them an email looking for a baseline cost but have not heard back from them yet.
We are currently debating whether or not this is an in-house project.
Though I'm more prone to go with the vendor if they offer extensibility we don't have t...
